Panchang in Lib, Lib Island, Marshall Islands Thu 1 Jan 2026

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 08:18 on Thu 1 Jan to 04:52 on Fri 2 Jan, so only Thursday’s pradosha (18:43–21:11) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Lib

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:04 here. Ekadashi ended at 11:31 Wed, before it. Dwadashi ends at 08:18, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 20 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Trayodashi began at 08:18 and ended at 04:52 Fri, between the sunrises of 07:04 and 07:04 Fri. Thursday reads Dwadashi and Friday reads Chaturdashi: Trayodashi is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 07:04, came before Dwadashi ended at 08:18: this day reads Dwadashi. Trayodashi ends at 04:52 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Trayodashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Wed 31 Dec ran from sunset 18:42 Wed to sunrise 07:04, 12 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:04 to 18:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:43 to 07:04 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 36°40′. It leaves at 08:00, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 256.1° + 39.4° = 295.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 23:42, then Shukla.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 21:57 Wed, when the lead reached 138°; Balava runs until 08:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:04 to 07:04 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 19 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 20 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 22:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 271.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
